In Vladimir, a person involved in the “palace case” was sentenced to one and a half years in prison

On September 27, the Leninsky District Court of Vladimir sentenced the defendant in the “palace case,” Valery Lavrov, to one and a half years in a penal colony. Lawyer Sergei Kudelkin told OVD-Info about this.

Lavrov was found guilty of using violence against a police officer that was not life-threatening (Part 1 of Article 318 of the Criminal Code) during the rally on January 23. According to the prosecution, Lavrov pushed away the security officer when he tried to detain him.

According to the lawyer, the sentence is unnecessarily harsh. “I believe that such a deadline was set indicatively. Despite all the mitigating circumstances - the accused admitted guilt, repented, and made a public apology - he was not given a fine, not compulsory labor, but a penal colony. If this had not happened at a rally, the trial would not have been so harsh,” says Kudelkin.

In addition, the policeman filed a claim against Lavrov for compensation for moral damage in the amount of 500 thousand rubles. According to the lawyer, the plaintiff did not explain this amount in any way. The court recovered 10 thousand rubles from Lavrov in favor of the law enforcement officer.
